Happy Birthday, Little Bro!

Susan 00-jul
My favorite little brother, Mark, turns 23 today!!!!!

I find it hard to believe that our little Mark is all grown up. I've written before about how very proud I am of him; and even though he's probably technically a "man," he'll always be my loveable, annoying, handsome, talented, laid-back, little bro.

In honor of his big day, I figured I'd take you through a little trip down memory lane.... I'm not sure if Mark reads my blog, but after some of these photos, he may find a way to sabotage Simply Suz & take me off the web. Sorry, Bubs. Forgive me. I couldn't resist! Some of these are just too classic! (Plus, you & I know there's worse floating out there!)

Happy Birthday! We love you!
Suz & Matt

I think Mark's rethinking "lucky" & "big sisters" right here.

He was a cutie-pie. (Still is).

So glad we got to see you this month, Mark!
Wish we could be at home today celebrating with you! Hope you know how loved you are! Happy 23rd!

  2. I was scouring through my photos to see if I had a copy of that one & sadly I don't. Must be at my folk's or maybe Mark got a hold of it & burned it. HAHA! That photo is definitely one for the ages. Maybe it'll make an appearance another year if I can get my hot little hands on it. HILARIOUS!
